UEFA have issued a statement on their lack of winners’ medals for Tottenham after the Europa League final.
The north Londoners ended their 17-year wait for a trophy with a 1-0 win over Manchester United in Wednesday’s final in Bilbao.

But stunningly, there weren’t enough medals to go around for Spurs players and staff for the trophy presentation.
And Uefa have issued a statement explaining why they didn’t have enough medals on hand.
It read: “To our great displeasure, we did not have enough medals available on stage during the trophy ceremony presentation due to an unexpected discrepancy in the player count, as more team members – including injured players – participated in the ceremony than initially anticipated.
The missing medals were promptly delivered to the winning team in the dressing room, along with our sincerest apologies for the oversight.”
